    FieldDescription

    Teacher

    The selected teacher appears.

    Room

    Enter the room in which this course section meets.

    Section Number

    Enter the section number in this field. Do not enter special characters.

    Section numbers must be unique among sections of the same course for a given school year.

    Term

    Choose the appropriate term.

    Grade Level

    If this course is available only for a certain grade level, enter the grade level. Otherwise, leave this field blank.

    Grade Scale

    Choose the grade scale. For more information, refer to Grade Scales.

    Maximum Enrollment

    Enter the maximum number of students who can enroll in this course section.

    Where Taught

    If this course section is taught outside your school, enter the school's ID in this field. If it is taught at your school, leave this field blank.

    Dependent Sections

    If this course section has dependent sections, enter them in this field using the course.section, course.section format. If a student is enrolled in a class, it is not teacher-specific, but rather section-specific. Often used by elementary schools where students take a set of classes, dependent sections indicate that if a student is registered in one class, they must also register for the dependent class. If the dependent section conflicts with another class, you can manually drop the student from the class and add them to another section. This function has no implications with prerequisites or graduation requirements.

    Record Attendance Using Attendance Mode

    Indicate the method by which you want attendance recorded. At this time, Meeting attendance is your only option.

    Record Attendance

    If the section meets more than one period in a day, you can choose to take attendance once or for every period by selecting the Once for All Meetings option or the Each Meeting Separately option.

    Exclude From Attendance

    Select the checkbox if you do not want attendance and enrollment in this section to be counted towards any ADA/ADM calculations.
